I have had this problem with my two boys (11 & 13) but NOT to this extent. It has been smaller amounts of money with them. In any case, they have had to pay me back. Any money given for birthday or Christmas, I get it. If they earn money for anything, I get it. I keep track on a chart so they know exactly how much money they have left to pay back and how far they have come. I also take away whatever was purchased with the stolen money (if possible) and they could not have it back until they had paid me back all the money that was stolen. This may seem harsh to many people, but it has stopped them from stealing any more money from me. Good luck, I think you're going to need it.
